Apply to receive free mentoring from Sue Buckmaster
Between October 2024 and February 2025 Sue will mentor 4 Lead Artists who have existing ideas for making work for children. The deadline for this offer has now passed.
Each artist (eg directors, choreographers, writers, conceptual designers or puppeteers who make their own shows) will be given 3 free 2-hour sessions with Sue. These can be face-to-face in London or online.
We appreciate that artists can often feel submerged in bureaucracy and the language of applications and so these sessions will put art at the centre of the conversations– they are NOT designed to explore how to pitch your ideas to bookers or the Arts Council. This is an opportunity to unpack your idea so that it is more resilient.
Sue can discuss a number of areas with you:
Dramaturgy of ideas
Incorporating visuals
Is this suitable for children?
Adapting adult work to become child friendly
Clarifying process-led approach
Expanding your thinking
